This is a thread where everyone can tell their most embarrassing meet stories. Everyone has been to meets where something unplanned happen. In this thread share something that has happened to you or someone else (teammate another competitor etc. etc.).
I will go first . . .
One time, during a big meet, (DGS) I forgot my whole routine because I had just moved up and because of practices being cancelled by snow I had only practiced it a few times. I didn't know what to do. After stopping in the middle of the floor like a deer in headlights, I tried to make up the rest of the routine but I forgot all the requirments, I also went 45 sec. overtime because I never heard the music stop. Because I couln't focus for the rest of the meet I ended dong bad on every event . . . I also fell twice on beam , 2 times on bars, the only thing I didn't fall on was vault but I did run straight into for the first vault because I forgot to leap to the side. I am now more experienced and hope this never happens again but I guess you could say my nerves got the best of me.
Now share your embarrassing moments . . . and remember it happens to the best of us
